Edition of 1548 of this famous literary work written by Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) born in Corneto (ancient name of Tarquinia) also known as Adriano from Corneto.
Castellesi was a scholar of Greek, Hebraist, author of little poems, works of style, grammars and philosophical-theological works. Expert of business, he got huge wealth, so much that Cesare Borgia tried to kill him. He went into exile and came back to Italy during the Pope Leone X, but went again into exile because being accused of participation to the conjure against Cardinal Petrucci. From this moment on we have no information about him: it seems that he was killed by one of his servants for theft. The volume is a didactical work with terms used in classical Latin works.
At the end, there is an interesting poem about hunting organized by Cardinal Ascanio Sforza near Tivoli, Acque Albule. Hunting scene followed by a rich dinner to which the author participated.
The particularity of this poem is that perhaps the first work in which a rifle is mentioned. The work had a good fortune, so much that it was published in over 30 editions.
